Miscellaneous Matilda Meanderings...
I've received a spate of questions about small boat rigging details, some from the Matilda 20 Forum and some from other venues. Instead of trying to answer them in individual posts, I've decided to incorporate them in one omnibus posting.
Rigging Details:
One question concerned how the tack of the Matilda mainsail was restrained. Here you see my solution. Originally, the was a small hole for a cotter pin. The cotter pin passed through a grommet at the tack of the sail. I drilled to hole out and now use a 1/4" Qik-Pin. The pin is tied to the gooseneck by a short lanyard so it doesn't get lost.
